Colbert's Christmas Special

Anyone see it?  Thoughts?

Well, here's a conservative talking head bitching about it.

I'll let others have their say before I do, but to add just a bit of my own commentary, these people so richly deserve their dissappointment at this last election, IMO.

Good Lord. I couldn't even make it through the article.

I loved it. Of course Jon Stewart was my favorite part, but John Legend's bit really cracked me up. I don't know, I thought it was the quintessential Stephen special because it presented his blend of satire and sincerity perfectly.

I saw approximately the first half of it today while at a friend's house. This was my first time seeing the show, so I wasn't coming in with any preconceptions. Personally, I thought it was standard television fare: overtly crass, as subtle as a nine-iron to the skull, and doing to satire what William Shatner does to acting. While I don't particularly approve of the tone of the article bloop linked, I'd say its criticisms for the part of the show that I watched were pretty much spot-on. I spent more time disgusted than amused.

That said, this is my reaction to about 90% of US television today, so it's possible that I'm just an extreme case.

It's more than the tone of the article that bothers me.  Bozo is taking a shot at Colbert's personal faith based on his job as a satirist, which is well past the line.
